Hi,
I have something very strange.
After replacement of the bearing at the top of the steering column (#14)

I noticed that I can't place the Steering column Lock nut anymore.

It is only possible when I don't place the split collet pair.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Does anyone have an idea of the root cause?
Thanks,
Harrie
